Shoah memorialization focuses primarily on the Horror Story - what perpetrators did TO Jewish victims. We overlook the Help Story - what Jewish victims tried to do FOR one another. At risk of life, many secretly aided the survival of kin and strangers alike, though American Jewry knows far too little about this. Non-militant acts of forbidden stealth altruism drew on the Altruistic Impulse (Darwin) and empowering Jewish values. We must reset the Shoah Narrative, schooling, and commemoration to include the Help Story lest Holocaust "fatigue" overcome the entire matter. Fortunately, many pragmatic reform ideas are available, and a few outstanding Holocaust museums already show the way. Reset ... or lose the way.
